Do you think about pace during training sessions?

Your pace (the amount of rest between exercises) can change the demands on your body and the results of your fitness over time.

For example, a moderate pace allows you to increase the intensity of specific exercises to increase strength. On the other hand, a challenging pace would demand more of your cardiovascular system and contribute to increased metabolic demand.

Check out our latest blog post to learn more about pace and how to be purposeful with it during your next training session.

Do your squats look like a hip hinge?

This common form breakdown in the squat is excessive flexion of the hips. While the length of your femur and torso play a role in what feels more natural during the squat, excessive hip hinge during can limit the benefit of the exercise and potentially lead to injury.

A simple tool like a heel lift or wedge board promotes a more effective movement pattern by shifting the center of gravity and forcing a more vertical motion.

The next time you perform a squat, try a heel lift! The difference in your range of motion and effect on the target muscles might surprise you.

There’s a reason the bench press has withstood the test of time. This classic exercise builds strength in muscles that are essential for feeling strong in our activities of daily living.
